beta-Caryophyllene alcohol is a fragrance ingredient used in decorative cosmetics, fine fragrances, shampoos, toilet soaps and other toiletries as well as in non-cosmetic products such as household cleaners and detergents. Its use worldwide is in the region of <0.1 metric tonnes per annum. In vivo studies found that b-Caryophyllene alcohol significantly inhibited asthma induced by histamine and acetylcholine in guinea pigs with the efficacy lasting for at least 6 hours and with the potency equivalent to aminophylline. Inhibition of airway inflammation and scavenging of free radical and reactive oxygen species was one of the mechanisms of anti-asthmatic action

Sample Use Guides
For intravenous (i.v.) pharmacokinetic studies, the rats were treated with low (5 mg/kg), middle (10 mg/kg) and high (20 mg/kg) doses of b-Caryophyllene alcohol solution (in 5% glucose containing 30% ethanol as solubilizer) via tail vein.
For oral pharmacokinetic studies, the rats received an intragastric (i.g.) dose (100 mg/kg) of b-Caryophyllene alcohol solution, suspension (in 0.5% sodium carboxy-methylcellulose) and PEG formulation.

S. griseus strain S4–7 was used for activity evaluation. To test antifungal activity, the volatile mixture concentration of S4–7 was prepared at 5 mg ml21 and 40, 20 and 10 ml samples used. The synthetic caryolan-1-ol was diluted to 0.075, 0.038, 0.019, 0.009 and 0.005 mmol ml21. A paper disc (8 mm) treated with a fraction of volatiles mixture or synthesized caryolan-1-ol was put in the lid of the Petri dish cover and B. cinerea was grown on the agar at 278C. After 4 days of incubation, mycelial growth was measured.
